I thought about what you said ghurd. I see why you don't understand why I put the start winding in series with the mains. For some reason I'm not getting the same voltage out of the start winding as i am from the mains. The start winding voltage is actually quite a bit lower than the main winding voltage.
Lets say the genny is spinning at 220 rpm, the main winding reads 23vac. But the start winding only reads 10vac. I dont understand this beacuse the more I thought about it doesn't make sense. The start winding and the main windings have the same resistance. I wonder why the voltages are so different.
Ya I would guess that if it was reaching 24vdc the same time that the mains were then I could parallel them. This is why I put them in series after rectification.
Any help thankyou
